The Boston Bruins never gained a lead in a back and forth contest with the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at the TD Garden as they dropped this one, 6-5, and ended their win streak.
The first period would see five combined goals from both sides within just eight minutes of play. While Brad Marchand got the B’s on the board fast, the Penguins ramped up offensive pressure. They sustained it for most of the game, causing the Bruins some defensive breakdowns.
The Bruins couldn’t recover from a three-goal deficit they dug themselves into early, just a few minutes into the second period, despite bouncing back to close that gap after four minute to one score.
